IIRC, I renamed started to start. I did that because start can be a noun
while started is a past tense verb, and we use such verbs for boolean
flags indicating past occurrence of some event.

startTime would probably work better mid-term. And when TunnelStateData
becomes a proper job, managing its own start() time, we can rename this
to start_ to avoid a type-like suffix.

On the other hand, whatever you two can agree on regarding this name
will work. I do not plan to post about this minor issue again. I only
posted because the current name was probably not Eduard's fault.


HTH,
